He extrapolated Barbie's body size, if she were human, and compared it side-by-side with the average body proportions of a 19-year-old American.

"I feel that this is as close as you can get to a real life representation of a Barbie-proportioned woman standing next to an average sized woman," he tells us. The average 19-year-old woman was modeled using these measurements, as described by the CDC:

64.29″ height

33.62″ waist

14.09″ upper arm length

14.45″ upper leg length

20″ head circumference

15″ neck circumference

Barbie, at 1/6 scale, would have the following measurements, Lamm — who also blogs at MyVoucherCodes.co.uk— believes:

69″ height

36″ bust

18″ waist

33″ hips

22″ head circumference

9″ neck circumference

As Lamm maps Barbie next to an average person, the differences become obvious quickly.
